Bump! These amps look pretty interesting, and not too pricey for a tube amp. My main concern is sound of the cabinet. It looks like they have the electronics thing together.

All too often, cabinet specs are based on the economics of cutting plywood instead of the tonal features of the box...

These cabinets have the same configuration as the MusicMan. I beleive these are "butt" jointed whereas MusicMan was lock jointed. I dont think the baffle board is ply wood,but I am not certain. MusicMan used Ponderosa Pine. Im sure these dont measure up to what Leo Fender designed at MusicMan. The baffle board of a MusicMan amp was 3/4 marine plywood and "T" nuts installed where ever a screw was mounted for added durabilty

For the retail price and the fact that is is a tube amp,I doubt that the cabinet is contructed as well as a Fender. You get what you pay for. Randall amps as I remember them were great sounding amps that outdid Marshall
But the cabs were not as sturdy as I would have liked.
